Nottingham Forest have suffered a transfer blow in their pursuit for Southampton star Che Adams.
The Saints are reportedly not "looking to sell" the player in this transfer window. According to journalist Alex Crook, he is also being described as a "key player" for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side ahead of the demanding Premier League campaign.
The Reds have been keeping tabs with the striker after reports emerged he would be allowed to leave the club this summer. The 26-year-old has been at St Mary's Stadium since 2019, after making the £15 million switch from Birmingham City.
